Measurement of the B+ -> rho0 mu+ nu differential branching fraction

The tension between different determinations of the CKM matrix element Vub using measurements of either exclusive or inclusive semileptonic decays represents a long-standing puzzle in flavour physics. To resolve this, measurements of new exclusive channels ...

From the line shape of the X(3872) to its structure

Angelo Esposito

From a study of the line shape of the X(3872), the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow D (D) over bar* bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion, together with ...

Low-scale leptogenesis with flavour and CP symmetries

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric, Yannis Georis

We consider a type-I seesaw framework endowed with a flavour symmetry, belonging to the series of non-abelian groups increment (3 n(2)) and increment (6 n(2)), and a CP symmetry. Breaking these symmetries in a non-trivial way results in the right-handed ne ...

The Cen A galaxy group: Dynamical mass and missing baryons

Oliver Müller

The nearby elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) is surrounded by a flattened system of dwarf satellite galaxies with coherent motions. Using a novel Bayesian approach, we measured the mean rotation velocity nu(rot) and velocity dispersion sigma(int) of th ...

Hunting for tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Angelo Esposito, Claudio Andrea Manzari

Ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for fourquark states produced by photon-photon fu ...

Bootstrapping QCD Using Pion Scattering Amplitudes

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Andrea Guerrieri

We consider the S-matrix bootstrap of four-dimensional scattering amplitudes with O(3) symmetry and no bound states. We explore the allowed space of scattering lengths which parametrize the interaction strength at threshold of the various scattering channe ...

Exploring beyond the Standard Model: the Heavy and the Dark

Kin Shanho Eliaou Mimouni

Physics beyond the Standard Model can appear as new particles too heavy to be produced in experiments (the energy frontier) or interacting too weakly to be seen in our measurements (the intensity frontier). In the first part of this thesis, we study two ...
